GardenersDream Christmas Cactus, Schlumbergera White House Plant - Christmas Plants and Flowers, Winter Flowering Plants for Gifts, Easy Care House Plants ft White Flowers (13cm Pot, 20-30cm)

Whether you’re looking for a fabulous Christmas gift for the person who has everything or simply fancy brightening up your own home over the greyest months of the year, you can’t go far wrong with a Christmas Cactus house plant. Christmas Cactus plants are succulent plants with long, flat stems acting as foliage, providing interest all year round. From November these stems are decorated with pink buds that open out into dainty white flowers that last throughout the winter months. Also known by the botanical name Schlumbergera, these real plants stand out among other Christmas plants and flowers due to being so easy to care for. They tolerate weeks of neglect, looking their best again after watering. For the best show of flowers, keep the plant in a warm room out of direct sunlight during the summer and winter months. From autumn, and again after flowering, move the plant to a cooler spot and water more sparingly. Doing this helps encourage more flower buds to form. Despite being succulent plants, these tropical plants are native to rainforests and so prefer a more humid environment. This quirk makes them excellent bathroom plants, but you can mimic their natural habitat by misting a few times a week or sitting the pot on top of some pebbles in water. Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
